The Department of Oceanography in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and
Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) invites
applications for two tenure-track 9-month faculty positions at the rank of
Assistant or Associate Professor. Incoming faculty will be leaders within
the new Uehiro Center for the Advancement of Oceanography within the

that qualify for the positions are encouraged to apply.



We seek two Oceanographers who will complement and expand the expertise of
our department and integrate cutting-edge research with undergraduate and
graduate education. Successful candidates will lead research programs that
contribute to our department’s strategic goal to be a global leader in
advancing a comprehensive Mauka to Makai (mountain to the sea)
understanding of the ocean in the context of global change. Relevant
research areas include any discipline within the field of oceanography. As
leaders within the UC•AO, successful candidates will be expected to
catalyze cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research that addresses
consequential scientific questions broadly complementary to the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals).



Since its founding over half a century ago, the Department of Oceanography
has been a world leader in interdisciplinary oceanographic research and
education, and we are excited to grow our dynamic, vibrant community with
new colleagues to carry this legacy into the future. UHM is the only
recognized Native Hawaiian-serving R1 university and draws students from a

to support our shared values of inclusion, mutual respect, collaboration,
and equity, so that people from every background feel welcome and can
thrive. Applicants for an Assistant Professor position should have several
years of experience at that level (or equivalent at a non-academic
